The series continues..., November 7, 2005
Hayley "Halo" Harlan is a pregnant nineteen-year-old lady with an abusive boyfriend who has yet to find out he will soon be a father. Halo dreads the thought of telling him too. Trey wants nothing to do with changing diapers. The world MUST revolve around him! (Or so his ego thinks.) Halo decides to wait until after their weekend camping trip with some friends at Crystal Lake.
Norwood and Penelope Thawn may be married and may look like respectable upper crust members of society, but in truth they are serial killers on a bloody crusade. When ever they spy someone committing a sin, Norwood and Penelope redeem the sinner by sending him to Hades with their blessings. The couple head to Crystal Lake in hopes of recruiting Jason Vorhees, who they believe is on the same crusade. The FBI is hot on their trail, but the Thawns believe God is on their side.
As for Jason, he is IN Crystal Lake, at the bottom. He would probably have stayed that way too, if some police divers had not seen a head sticking up from the lake floor and proceeded to dig up the body.
***** Lots of blood. Lots of gore. Lots of death. Hey, this is a "Friday the 13th" novel. What else would it be like? So this is PERFECT for all Jason fans. Recommended! *****

Hate-Kill-Repeat...Jason's Back!, June 26, 2006
Jason Arnopp gets big snaps for doing his homework, as hate kill repeat is a nice piece of the puzzle as far as the movies are concerned. This book picks up right after the events in Friday the 13th Part VII: the New Blood where Tina shepard summons her long dead father from the lake to throw chairs around Jason a pull him down into its murky depths. Excellent! And thats where they find him, buried up to his neck at the bottom of Crystal lake. I also liked that Arnopp mentions some of the Events in Friday the 13th VI: Jason Lives, in that Sheriff Garris got folded in half, and that the good folks of Crystal Lake changed the name to Forest Green.
So a couple of Moral crusaders go on a killing spree headed for crystal lake to try to join up with Jason, yeah o.k., you read how that comes out. I'll give you ten guesses but you're only going to need one. Beside the thin plot, and some stereo type characters the action in this book are fast, and at times very graphic. Watch out folks the body count is off the charts! The trade off between characters and situations are very smooth, Arnopp keeps the action going. This book did surprise me with a little bit of a twist near the end. The other thing I liked about this book was that not only did it pick up where movie #7 left of, it also eludes to what happens in the beginning of Jason goes to Hell. I would have given this book one more star for a perfect score, but some of the characters I thought were just a little to cheesy. Bottom Line....Highly entertaining!

Jason is back!, January 3, 2006
FRIDAY THE 13th 3: Hate - Kill - Repeat by Jason Arnopp is the story of a sophisticated couple, the Thawns, who are members of a cult called the Redeemers whose mission is to rid the world of sinners. They are on their way to Crystal Lake to connect with Jason Voorhees. They feel that Jason has a lot in common with them since the teenagers he kills are sinners engaging in promiscuity, drugs and drinking. Along the way, the Thawns commit many murders. Among the people they kill are some drunks having a threesome in a motel room, a slimy executive and the receptionist he was having an affair with and a female gas station attendant who 'came on' to Ms. Thawn. They also attempt to kill a pregnant girl from a trailer park. FBI agents Daimler and van Stadt are hot on their trail. Of course, Jason isn't helping matters any with his bloody killing sprees at the lake.
From the very first page, the book grabbed my attention. It is filled with fascinating characters, tense scenes and earth shaking terror. The plot is so twisted that the ending is a big surprise. Even if you don't particularly care for horror, the mystery of this one plus wondering how all this can possibly end will suck you in anyway.
